“Here is the argument that Trump and his army of Trumpsters use: Even though the vast number of immigrants do not commit violent crimes, a small percentage does. Therefore, to protect Americans from the small percentage of illegal immigrants who commit crimes, they say that it is necessary to have a strict system of immigration controls that vets all immigrants, so that the only the peaceful, law-abiding ones are permitted to enter the United States. Never mind that that has been the system for some 100 years …. Let’s stick with Trump’s reasoning in order to show how ludicrous it is and now destructive of liberty it is. … there are other killers in Texas. … Under Trump’s rationale, why shouldn’t the people of Louisiana be free to impose a system of border controls against the people of Texas?” (01/03/25)
